SMS: Remote Control May Not Work with Unsupported Database Collation

This article was previously published under Q298033

SYMPTOMS

When you have appropriate Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) security rights and try to remotely control an SMS client, you may be unable to do so. The following error message may be generated:
Remote Tools
Security rights to run remote tools on this client have been denied.
Note that this issue may also occur when you run the Remote.exe command from a command prompt.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if the SMS database is located on a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 computer on which the database is configured to use SQL_SwedishStd_Pref_CP1_CI_AS collation. Unless this configuration is specified manually, either on database or server level, this issue occurs when you upgrade the database server from SQL Server 7.0 configured with ISO character set (ID=1) and Swedish/Finnish (Std) dict order, case insensitive, uppercase pref sort order (ID=185). To determine whether this is the configured database collation, right-click the SMS database in SQL Server Enterprise Manager, and then click Properties. You can view the configured collation under Collation Name.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft does not recommend or support the use of this collation in conjunction with SMS. If you are already running this database configuration, you may want to contact Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for assistance transferring the data in the SMS database to a server that is running a different collation.
